In her third book of poetry, Path to Home (1962), Mabel Law Atkinson writes of her three grandsons in the poem "Three Little Magi":
Three little Magi, as I follow you
I find again the world of wonder through
The shops festooned with stars that blaze and blink--
Brighter the shining stars that dance and twink
Within the blue of your exploring eyes--
Humbly I follow who am Grandma-wise.
While watching your rapt faces, your small hands
Caressing gifts with awe, on quiet sands
Of Galilee I walk with One adoring
And blessing little children. My heart outpouring
With love acclaims the Christmas miracle--
Three little Magi, with their beautiful,
Sweet marveling, their radiant reverence,
Lead me through wonder trails of innocence.
